Amaltheia’s ADGA Genetic Pedigree

“Theia” excels in strength of bone, dairy character, and length and levelness of topline.  She is another of our first generation LaManchas and was an early indicator of the stretch and strength we were hoping to further incorporate in the LaMancha herd.  Unfortunately for Theia, she came into her prime winning two legs to her championship in 2006 and was never shown again after suffering a nasty bout of mastitis the following year.  Nevertheless, both Theia, her twin sister Aphrodite, and her dam Arachne have proven to be some of our most successful brood does and with does like Adrastea, Acythera, and Deesse now exemplifying our herd, we think it was worth the wait.  Simply to keep the number of kids born down, Theia was not bred in 2010, however, at 10 years old she is still doing great and may yet kid again in the near future.

Progeny include:
Barnowl Adrastea
Barnowl Amethea (owned by South Fork)
